Amritsar, December 20

Pingalwara gifted happiness to the family of Harbans Kaur, an elderly woman, who went reportedly missing on December 14. The septuagenarian, who is suffering from a mental disorder and hails from Ludhiana, was reunited with her family on Thursday night.

Harbans Kaur’s son Raj Kumar and her daughter Geeta had come to take their mother back home. The elated siblings shared that she had gone missing when they had brought her to Amritsar on December 14 for her medical check-up. “Harbans Kaur was brought to Pingalwara’s Amritsar branch by a good Samaritan, Manpreet Singh, when he found her roaming streets in Golden Avenue. Thinking that she is a destitute, he brought her to us and after going through our procedural inquiry, we searched for her family. That’s how we got to know that her family in Ludhiana had reported about her disappearance,” said Pingalwara member Dr Jagdeepak. This is one among many successful reunions that Pingalwara has facilitated through its efforts to recover and rehabilitate destitute and needy people.
